Our Verdict
ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 26
Saucony Triumph 22
The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 26 and Saucony Triumph 22 are both premium daily trainers built for comfortable, easy runs. Both are on the heavier side, but the Triumph 22 is lighter and uses a higher-end midsole that delivers more energy return. The GEL-NIMBUS 26, on the other hand, has a higher stack height and more balanced cushioning. If you want max softness, go with the Nimbus; if you value a bit more versatility, the Triumph is the better pick.
